Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

This isn't the first time Princess Lingyu has resorted to underhanded tactics. If she can't win in a fair fight, can't she at least use dirty tricks behind the scenes?

Two years ago, she secretly eliminated the talented noblewoman who posed a threat to her.

Otherwise, if he were alive today, he would probably steal a lot of her thunder.

Yeli directed the planting of explosives.

Princess Lingyu stood to one side, a cold glint in her eyes.

Will Qiao Lian'er be blown in two, or blown to pieces?

It would be better if he were crippled; he could live a life worse than death for the rest of his life.

This was the first time Ling Yu had so many dark thoughts. She had never reacted so strongly when facing that genius girl before.

"Princess, the Second Young Master Pei is with the Princess Zhenguo. What if the Second Young Master Pei is also blown up?" Yeli thought of this.

"So what if it's blown up? Do you think I really like him? Do you really think I can't live without him? I just want to beat Qiao Lian'er. I showed him affection, but he ignored me and was indifferent. Even if someone like that becomes my husband, he won't be truly good to me."

Once the explosives were planted, Lingyu left some people here so that if anyone else passed by, they could take another route.

Qiao Lian'er sat on the cliff again and looked at the sea for a while.

At this time, the sea was littered with the wreckage of many ships and the corpses of many enemy soldiers.

The navy of Daze Kingdom is busy cleaning the sea surface.

Having suffered such a crushing defeat and incurred such heavy losses, the Eastern Fu Kingdom will likely need to restrain itself for quite some time.

When she left the Naval Headquarters, she rode for a distance before abandoning her horse and heading straight to the capital.

I've already spoken with Governor Yan; she'll come again later to check on the improvements and construction of the cannons and ships.

Governor Yan was naturally very pleased.

Therefore, Princess Lingyu's men guarded the location where the explosives were planted, waiting all night and all day, but they did not see Qiao Lian'er pass by.

When they saw other passersby, they told them to go around them. They had no choice but to explain that there were explosives buried there, and they were scolded as if they were crazy.

Could it be that Qiao Lian'er hasn't returned to the capital yet?

Two of these people then went to the naval headquarters to gather information and learned that Qiao Lian'er had already left.

That's really strange, since this is an essential route.

They had no choice but to return to the capital.

Lingyu was also waiting for good news, but after waiting for so long, there was still no news.

When she saw that the person who had returned was looking dejected, she immediately had a bad feeling.

"It didn't work out?"

The subordinate sighed: "Princess Zhenguo must have taken another route back to the capital."

"How could that be? Taking another route would mean going a long detour. Are you just being lazy and negligent?"

Princess Lingyu's heart sank when she learned that Qiao Lian'er was not dead.

“Absolutely not, Princess. We didn’t close our eyes for a whole night and day, we just kept staring at that stretch of road.”

"Could she have predicted it in advance? That's impossible." Ling Yu was completely baffled.

Then someone came to the embassy to report: "Princess, we know the whereabouts of Princess Zhenguo. Princess Zhenguo's older sister, Qiao Zhizhi, married into the Lin family of the Duke of Yuhua's mansion. She is about to give birth and is giving birth today. The Qiao family has all rushed over, and Princess Zhenguo is also there."

So, Qiao Lian'er had already returned, and Princess Lingyu suddenly felt like she had been tricked.

She clenched her fist and slammed it hard on the table.

"Damn it, this Qiao Lian'er is deliberately making trouble for me."

Yes, from childhood to adulthood, everyone and everything around her went along with her, including whoever she wanted to die, and whoever she wanted to die, had to die.

She couldn't tolerate that Qiao Lian'er had actually escaped.

Something flickered in her eyes: "You mean, Princess Zhenguo's cousin is giving birth."

"Yes, but it's been two hours and she still can't give birth."

Lingyu pondered: "I've heard that pregnant women shouldn't be startled during childbirth, especially during difficult labor, as panic can easily take a life."

“Princess, we are unfamiliar with this place, so it might be difficult for us to make any moves,” Yeli said.

"That's simple, just make sure it has a frightening effect."

"Yeli, you lead a group of men past the gate of the Duke of Yuhua's mansion—" Lingyu whispered a plan.

Another half hour passed, and Qiao Zhizhi still hadn't made any progress. She was exhausted, her face was as pale as paper, she was drenched in sweat, her hair was wet, and she was limp on the bed, unable to muster any strength. Her hands, gripping the sheets, were trembling.

Both the Lin and Qiao families were extremely anxious. Madam Wan turned her back and secretly wiped away her tears, while Old Madam Qiao was also pressing her hand to her chest in great anxiety.

"Go and fetch better midwives. The Imperial Hospital has two female physicians; invite them as well." Lin Songyan was covered in sweat, his eyes red, but he was desperately trying to find a way to change the current situation.

"Third Young Madam, drink some medicinal soup before you push yourself." The midwife helped Qiao Zhizhi up and fed her the soup.

"It seems you're carrying a very large baby, which is why the delivery process is being particularly difficult. Madam, you must pull through."

This midwife was quite experienced. She noticed that Qiao Zhizhi's condition was not right and tried to turn her belly several times, but she couldn't get the baby to turn back to its normal position.

If there's absolutely no other way, you'll have to use your hands to scoop it out.

Madam Lin, the eldest son's wife, and the second son's wife were all by the bedside encouraging Qiao Zhizhi.

Normally everyone gets along well, but at times like this, things get incredibly tense.

Madam Lin walked out of the room, clutching a handkerchief in her hand, which was covered in cold sweat.

She comforted the Qiao family, saying, "Good things often come with difficulties. I believe that good people are always blessed. You don't need to worry too much. Go sit in the warm pavilion and wait."

Madam Wan said, "We are all Zhizhi's family. It's best to solve problems promptly. At times like these, nice words are useless. We know that you are considerate of us, but we hope that Zhizhi can give birth to the child safely."

Madam Lin sighed, "It is somewhat difficult. Once Zhizhi regains some strength, she can work hard with the midwife. I hope it goes smoothly, it must go smoothly."

As he spoke, he clasped his hands together in prayer.

Qiao Lian'er sat in the living room, frowning, her fingers resting on the teacup. The tea inside had long since gone cold, and she hadn't taken a single sip.

She learned about the production process and found that Qiao Zhizhi had spent half a day preparing before actually starting the process, which was a normal and reasonable amount of time.

She is now in the second stage of labor, which is the actual delivery. She should be born in no more than two hours.

But now, the time limit has been exceeded, which confirms that production is not going smoothly.

At times like these, she has no choice but to intervene.

She lifted the curtain, walked into the delivery room, sat on the edge of the bed, and held Qiao Zhizhi's hand.

While encouraging her, I checked her using the medical equipment in the space.

It's no wonder she was so overwhelmed when she finally looked at her.

Qiao Zhizhi was actually pregnant with twins. One was barely the size of a normal fetus, while the other was much smaller. The smaller fetus had a very weak heart, which was why the doctors couldn't diagnose that she was carrying twins.

What's worse, one of the twins was in a transverse lie and the other in a diagonal lie, making it impossible for them to be born normally.
